Overview

The Triage UI enables you to work through untriaged GitHub items for a single selected repository in a focused, step-by-step session. Unlabelled issues are always included, and you can optionally include pull requests in the same queue.

Key features:

  • You can start a triage session for one repository at a time.
  • The queue includes unlabelled issues, with an option to include pull requests.
  • The interface shows your current position (e.g., Item 3 of 10), a remaining count, and a progress indicator.
  • Use the Quick Label field to search and select a label, then click Apply + next to apply it and move on.
  • Click Next to advance without making any change to the current item.
  • Progress and session context are always visible, so you know how much work remains.

How to Use

  1. Select a repository to start a triage session.
  2. The Triage UI queues all unlabelled issues for that repository.
  3. Review each item in turn, then either:
    • Search for a label in the Quick Label field and click Apply + next to label the issue and advance, or
    • Click Next to advance to the next item without applying a label.
  4. The session completes once all queued items have been processed.
  5. Use the progress indicator and session context to track your position and the number of remaining items.

Quick Label Actions and Keyboard Shortcuts

You can apply labels to issues directly from the Triage UI without leaving the triage view.

  • Use the Quick Label search field to find and select a repository label. The field accepts free-text search so you can type any part of a label name.
  • Click Apply + next (or press L) to apply the selected label and immediately advance to the next item.
  • Click Next (or press N) to move to the next item without applying a label.
  • Keyboard shortcuts work when the action button row is focused. Typing in the Quick Label field does not trigger shortcuts.
  • Primary success and failure feedback appears inline in the triage view via the operation alert, with additional snackbar notifications used for selected error conditions.

The two-action model keeps the triage rhythm straightforward: every item is either labelled and advanced, or advanced without changes.
